I find a few thick- cut slices of bacon, fried with potatoes and onion and laid on some toast with a couple of eggs stops my hunger pangs! Well, for a couple of hours anyway…,

I am a big fan of pickles (pickled cucumbers) but I’m wondering how much of an issue Vinegar is to the stomach lining.
This is a big one for me, but its pricey. Most of my dining budget goes to keto bread, specifically ‘base culture bread’

Lightly steamed onions, red or yellow. Quarter-inch slices, about 90 seconds in a pre-heated microwave steamer. So they’re still somewhat ‘spicy’ and almost crunchy, but easy to eat. For some reason, they seem to remove my appetite and desire for between-meal snacks.

I saw you mention that raw carrots might harm your teeth long term and was a little worried… but then when I grabbed another carrot snack, I realized these Whole Foods branded “petite” carrots are not nearly as hard to bite into as their baby carrots… just a tip for anyone who wants them

I just find CR to be the most miserable experience! I did it for 5 years and I was utterly unhappy. My thoughts revolved constantly about food. I had no energy and I was in a vile mood all day until my only meal of the day at 6pm, when I ate like a starving pig.
Now I enjoy 3 BIG meals oozing calories per day. (Plus snacks) And I’m about the same body weight as I was before.

I’m eating carrots more now, from whole foods where it’s easy to put them in paper bags

Michael Lustgarten had his biomarkers improve the most holistically with carrots? But it seems he halved them now.
I don’t think you will avoid microplastics either way with paper bags, it doesn’t seem like that plastic will get inside the carrot. The growth phase and soil is different though?

I like to dip my baby carrots in hummus. It’s my after work snack.
It also may be why I am not losing weight.

Haha same here … i have now substituted the hummus by my self made “ mayonnaise “ substitute ( half an abogado plus hard boiled egg and lemon juice plus some quality olive oil , mixed) : I noticed it fills me more and I stop faster ( the fact that I have to make it myself might also have to do something with it 
)

^plastic-free coffee [and coffee suppresses appetite in other ways so it’s a double-win]
COLD-BREWED COFFEE is also WAY more likely to be plastic-free UPSTREAM of the process b/c coffee-makers often put hot water in touch with plastics…

This is incredible - in a glass and no salt added, and the tomatoes taste SO good on their own you don’t need salt.

Yesss! When I don’t use whole tomatoes to make sauce (usually SMT), I use these! I love that they are in glass, and unlike many that are pre crushed, they don’t contain citric acid which my taste buds don’t like.
Edited to add:
I usually make lentil pasta with pomodoro sauce because it’s an easy and great source of protein for me, but if trying to cut calories, a great meal is to have sauce (those jarred tomatoes make whipping up a meal incredibly effortless and easy to store the unused tomatoes) and zoodles (zucchini noodles). I find the premade ones to often be slimy but not the ones I make at home.
